49ers VS Lions Live

Get scoring updates, news and analysis on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. as the 49ers look to rebound from a season-opening loss when they host the Detroit Lions at Levi’s Stadium.

Jimmy Garoppolo is human, after all. After winning his first seven NFL starts, Garoppolo had his worst game as a 49er in the 24-16 loss to the Vikings last Sunday. He completed just 15-of-33 passes and threw three interceptions.

He has a good shot of atoning at home as the Lions come in after perhaps the worst season-opening performance of any team. Detroit gave up 31 unanswered points in the third quarter in Matt Patricia’s first game as head coach and the Lions were booed at home on their way to a 48-17 loss to the Jets.

History says things won’t get much easier as the Lions, who have lost 12 straight games to the 49ers in the Bay Area. The last time Detroit beat the 49ers in these parts was in 1975 when Steve Spurrier was San Francisco’s starting quarterback.

The Lions are hoping their first game at Levi’s bucks their Bay Area trend.

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford had an even worse start last week as he threw an NFL-high four interceptions in Detroit’s loss.

This will be the second of linebacker Reuben Foster’s two-game suspension for the 49ers.
